Attached is a draft study that develops a methodology for assessing and comparing transparency based on defense white papers, applies that methodology to assess changes in Chinese transparency over time, and compares the transparency evident in China's defense white paper with that of other Asia-Pacific white papers.

It is envisoned as both an analytical tool, but also something that might support a productive dialogue with China and other countries about transparency.

Attached and below is a letter to U.S. government on on free speech
rights of native Formosans to advocate independence thru Taiwanese
self-determination. Please support us.

Thanks.

Dear Press Officer Kavanaugh,

Kindly advise whether the US continues to stand by her duties under our
Constitution, treaty obligations and laws, towards the defense of
Formosa, and the rights of the native Formosans to engage in free
speech rights secured by the First Article of Amendment to the US
Constitution permitting petition for redress of their grievances
against the United States, and her alter ego the Republic of China,
located in exile, outside China, on Formosa, a trust territory for
which the US asserted by Aide Memoire of October 25, 1950, in the
travaux preparatoires for Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace with Japan
concluded at San Franicsco, that Formosa did not by that treaty nor by
the Treaty of Taipei (also see FRUS that the Treaty of Taipei did not
cede Formosa from Japan to the Republic of China, using the terms legal
Dept. China) become territory of China nor of the Republic of China,
and asserting her solemn UN Charter and Constitutional law of war
duties as Principal Victor in the Pacific theater against Japan, for
the ultimate disposition of Formosa, consonant with the territorial
integrity or historical claims of China thereto, and the Article 73
duties of the US as Administering Authority, through her alter ego, the
Republic of China, on Taiwan, for Formosa.

Recently the fascist Chinese Nazi Party called the KMT has preferred
treason charges to be brought by the Taiwan High Court, which is now
investigating the judges and clerks of the US Court of Appeals for the
Armed Forces and DC Circuit, SCUS, and USDC DC Judge Rosemary Collyer,
for conspiracy to cause .....

I noticed a while ago, and this trend continues, that our creative senders take weekends off. Mailings stop on Friday afternoon and do not resume until 8-10 pm Sunday (which is already Monday is some parts of the world). The greeting cards and banking scam artists take no days off - maybe because they are not salary men?
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend

It is with great pleasure that I forward you the link to CNA ChinaStudies' latest conference report: Military Confidence Building Measuresin the Taiwan Strait.

Since the inauguration of Ma Ying-jeou as Taiwan's s president in May2008, relations between Taipei and Beijing have improved at a rapidpace. The resumption of quasi-official talks between the two sides ofthe Strait has led to a series of landmark agreements. Among otherpromising results, the commencement of direct flights, shipping, andpostal services have been important steps toward reconciliation.Nevertheless, officials and scholars on both sides of the Straitrecognize that progress has thus far been limited to relatively easyissues and that addressing such delicate, yet critical, topics assovereignty and military deployments will require a prolonged period oftime and greater political trust.

To better understand how officials and experts on both sides of theStrait are thinking about pursuing military CBMs and creatingappropriate conditions for cross-Strait discussions of CBMs, a CNA-leddelegation visited Taipei and Beijing December 24-28, 2009. Thisconference discussed the findings of the trip, including recommendationsfor how Taiwan, Mainland China, and the United States can further createan environment that is favorable to establishing military CBMs. Itprovided a venue for informed specialists and U.S. government officialsto discuss the measures and the implications for the United States.

You can access the report, on the CNA China Studies publications pageat: http://www.cna.org/international/china/publications.aspx. We hopeyou will find this report useful.

This is the second of two Outlooks on the Obama administration's foreign policy approach to Asia. Neither the Clinton nor Bush administrations took full advantage of the growing impetus among the states of the Asia-Pacific region to work through multilateral forums. The Obama administration appears to be following the same pattern. Today a hodgepodge of institutions and forums exists in Asia, but none of them addresses the strategic needs of the region. The United States needs to find ways to maximize its influence through new regionwide forums and institutional arrangements. A two-tiered multilateral approach could benefit the nations in the region and the United States.

Please see the attached for more information.

Hope it will be help for your work and also your suggestions will be appreciated.

Ok, it is not really a big deal,
the trojan was in the wild since at least 2006 and
Symantec just added a better name for it. It was discovered not on
January 11, 2010 but much earlier. I like Hydraq better than just
Trojan Horse, really. Why Hydraq? What prompted the name, I wonder.
